IARS 7th International Annual Conference 2019

Charity information: The IARS International Institute

Need

The persistence of the economic crisis coupled with social inequalities have led to a deepening alienation of young people, a decline of social values and reduced belief in bottom-up social change. This impact also implies restricted access to education and training, and thus fewer opportunities for personal and professional development. Across Europe, youth unemployment is at least twice as high than the overall workforce, with countries like Greece and Italy experiencing unprecedented numbers

Solution

Over two days and focusing on early school leavers (day 1) and young prospective social entrepreneurs (day 2), this international event will push barriers for European and national policy making and practice through the presentation of evidence-based solutions, and by allowing the voices that are rarely heard to lead on debates that matter. The conference will launch the findings of our Erasmus funded projects Drop-In (Day 1) and PromYSE (Day 2).

Why Us?

IARS’ first value of User & Civic Participation is based on our belief that strong democracies are not those that elect and maintain systems of governance that cultivate and enforce power over others, but those that truly share that power with those who need it. Society can be improved through social enterprising taking place at all levels: individual, project and organisational.
